Kraft Easy Mac and Cheese Dinner, 18 Packets, Original Flavor, 38.7 oz

I'm in my 30s, and macaroni and cheese is one of my weaknesses, has been since I was a kid. I usually buy no-name brands and such, whatever is cheapest, but Kraft often goes on sale so it gets into the rotation plenty. Despite that, I'd never actually tried Easy Mac before. It's been around since I was a kid, but I've never had it, always cooked it the traditional way on stovetop.At around 6 bucks for 18 packs, I think the value here is roughly in line with buying traditional boxes. That's basically three bowls for a buck, which is roughly what I'd get out of a box. Best part here, however, is the convenience. Being able to just toss a packet in a bowl with some water and microwave it... I feel like a truly lazy person saying "boiling some water is too much work sometimes", haha, but there you are.Once prepared, it's almost identical to the boxed stuff. Good quality, texture and flavor are spot on. I was dubious about preparing it without any milk or butter, but it really does work; getting the right amount of water is an art form you will quickly master. My only advice is to make sure you get it out of the microwave quick and stir in the powder, or else the noodles have a tendency to sort of gum up and stick together which makes it harder to mix later. If that happens, I recommend adding a little water, it wont hurt.Overall, convenient and cheap way to eat something I already like. Would recommend.

Good taste and flavor. Good quality and size for lunch or snack for a child.

As a child I hated macaroni and cheese, together or separately.But I grew up, and so did my taste buds.These packs are convenient and easy.Just dump the macaroni in a microwavable bowl add water to completely cover the pasta, cover with a vented lid and microwave for three minutes or until the noodles are how you like them.The directions say not to rinse the pasta. I do anyway as I don't like sticky macaroni.If there is just a bit of water left over, that's fine, but if you have too much water, dump the majority out before adding the cheese powder. There is a proper amount of water given, but I can't recall how much it is so I wing it.I also add a bit of butter to the macaroni but that's my personal preference. Then I add the cheese powder a bit at a time stirring it in as I go.If this is too much macaroni and you have no one to share it with, try the single serve cups.Remove the cheese packet from the cut, fill the cup with water to the line. You can also feel the line, if you can't see it, and microwave for 2 minutes or till the pasta is the way you like it, then add the cheese sauce. Depending on the wattage of your microwave you may have some boiling over so be careful when removing the bowl or cup.Both are Kraft and both are good, so enjoy.

Great value, and since you use your own bowl to make it, it takes up a lot less room in your pantry and no plastic cups going into a landfill. Quick and easy and has the Great Mac&Cheese taste that you’d expect from Kraft

These Kraft Easy Mac packets are great for a small snack or meal for me. The quality is o-kay (it's Kraft, not gourmet Mac n cheese) for what it is.The texture is a bit mooshy compared to when you make a regular box of Kraft on the stove, but that's to be expected when you put noodles in the microwave. The filling usually requires some extra water after you cook it in order to mix it in well. The noodles are standard thickness.Also, if you get these and cook them in a bowl, it's less than half the price of the ones that come inside of cups. I really like that they have this option!I also add a small amount of butter, and pepper to give it some more taste, cause it is a bit bland. Milk would work as well. It makes it a bit creamier than when you just use water.

Definitely worth the purchase. Tastes and looks just like regular Mac n cheese. Consistency and texture better similar to original as well and super easy to make as a side or by itself.

Very good product for the money I’ve used this macaroni and put it in soup. I’ve mixed it up when cooking very good. Very delicious. I will recommend it.

Bought these for a friend’s kid who loves mac & cheese. She thanked me for it because it makes her life so much easier. Add a little bit of water throw in the powder throw in the microwave and done in a couple minutes.

Saves time and waste, good for school/ work and even appointments as long as there is access to a microwave and quick meals. Same size serving as a “KD Cup”. Tastes like the original version and i like how it’s not a huge box meant for four people when I am cooking it for myself only. It’s also quicker than the box you cook on the stovetop.✅ School lunches✅ Safer way for older kids to make their own KD✅ Less waste then KD cups as you can use a Microwave safe Bowl 👍🏼✅ Good Emergency Food item for your “Emergency Kit”Cheers!Enjoy

Not the same at all

I had this before so I know it’s good ordered more for quick Mac and cheese no need to add anything just water needed

I love these for when I don't want to make a whole box it doesn't come with packaging that is big and bulky it has only a plastic wrapped around the noodles and the cheese sauce package attached to the side. I can use my bowl and know it won't over flow in the microwave. It still tastes the same as the bowls or boxes so it's still a delicious nostalgic treat when I need it.

I love this microwave KD. There's something about it, it tastes so much better than the regular KD makes a great snack
